Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 1 study of the use of an investigational drug that selectively delivers radiation to malignant tumor cells, CLR 131, in combination with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in subjects with locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancer. The trial will enroll up to 12 participants who are amenable to retreatment with radiation therapy. Participants who also have distant metastatic disease may be enrolled on this clinical trial, but they must have evaluable disease that will be clinically treated with radiation therapy, as per standard of care. All participants will receive a dosimetry test dose of CLR 131 to establish drug uptake by the tumor and enable Monte Carlo dose estimation based on CLR 131 SPECT/CT imaging evaluation. Participants showing uptake will receive a cumulative tumor dose of 60-70 Gy using personalized dose calculation (via Monte Carlo methods) of CLR 131 combined with external beam radiation.


Description:

Following informed consent, all participants will receive a dosimetry test dose of 15 mCi CLR 131 to establish drug uptake by the tumor and enable Monte Carlo dose estimation based on CLR 131 SPECT/CT imaging evaluation. Participants who have uptake of the CLR 131 dosimetry test dose at their disease site as determined by the study radiologist will be eligible to participate on the treatment portion of this clinical trial. Participants showing uptake will receive a cumulative tumor dose of 60-70 Gy using personalized dose calculation of CLR 131 (via Monte Carlo) combined with external beam radiation. In this study, we are also studying a subset of up to 6 patients who do not uptake after the CLR 131 test dose, who will still proceed with treatment with CLR 131. This clinical trial involves two cohorts of subjects: (a) dose escalation and (b) dose expansion. In the dose escalation phase, an mTPI-2 design, an extension of modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI-2), will be used to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using cohorts of 4 participants and up to 3 dose levels of CLR 131. Participants in the dose escalation phase will receive 2 doses of CLR 131 with the first dose on day 1 followed by the second dose on day 8. Treatment with CLR 131 on the dose escalation cohort will begin at dose level 1 (15.6 mCi/m2). Participants at dose level 1 will receive an intravenous infusion of CLR 131 at 15.6 mCi/m2 on day 1 followed by a second dose on day 8. Participants at dose level 2 will receive an intravenous infusion of CLR 131 at 18.75 mCi/m2 on day 1 followed by a second dose on day 8. Once the MTD is determined by the dose escalation phase, participants will be enrolled on the dose expansion cohort. Participants on the dose expansion cohort will receive 2 doses of CLR 131 with the first dose on day 1 followed by the second dose on day 8, with the dose determined by the dose escalation phase. SPECT/CT imaging will be performed on days 2, 3, 4-6, and 7-8 of the treatment period to visualize and quantitate the biodistribution of CLR 131. Based on these SPECT/CT imaging scans, the Bednarz lab will utilize the Monte Carlo method to predict absorbed dose of CLR 131 to tumors and normal structures. All participants will start thyroid-protection medication the day prior to the CLR 131 dosimetry test dose and will continue to take thyroid protection medication for 14 days after the last CLR 131 dose. Based on the calculated absorbed dose of CLR 131 to the specific targeted tissue, the participant will undergo external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to complete the designated radiation dose outlined in the re-irradiation plan, as per standard of care. Prior to CLR 131 administration and at 3 and 6 months post EBRT, participants will be assessed for changes to swallow function. Prior to CLR 131 administration and at 3, 6 and 12 months post EBRT, quality of life measures and salivary characteristics will be assessed. The investigators anticipate the total study (baseline, CLR 131 administration, EBRT and 3, 6, 12 and 24 month follow up assessments) to take 27 months per participant.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Participant must be informed of the investigational nature of the study and must be able to sign a written informed consent. - Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed solid malignancy that has recurred in the head and neck (above the clavicles) region, e.g., participants with recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland tumors or esthesioneuroblastoma are eligible for this clinical trial. - Participants must have undergone previous curative intent therapy, with radiation as a primary or adjuvant therapy. - Participants may have distant metastatic disease, as long as the locoregional site of recurrence is deemed eligible for radiation therapy, and treatment of the loco-regional disease is deemed as taking precedence over treatment of the remaining systemic disease. - Participants must have at least one evaluable (measurable or non-measurable) recurrent lesion that is amenable to radiation therapy. - Participants must demonstrate uptake of CLR 131 via SPECT/CT imaging, as determined by the study radiologist, in the specified site of recurrent/metastatic disease that is to be treated with radiation therapy. There is a subset of up to 6 patients who may continue with CLR 131 treatment without uptake on the SPECT/CT scan after the test dose. - Participants must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 - 1. - Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months. - The participant has adequate hematologic function, as evidenced by: - an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1500 / µL - hemoglobin =9 g/dL (5.58 mmol/L) - and platelets =100,000 / µL - If full-dose anticoagulation therapy is used, platelets = 150,000 / µL are required. - If participant is on full-dose anticoagulation therapy, the anticoagulation therapy must be reversible, and reversal of the anticoagulation therapy must not be life-threatening, as judged by the investigator. - The participant has adequate renal function as defined by: - serum creatinine = 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or Cockcroft-Gault calculated creatinine clearance >/= 60 ml/min - The participant has adequate hepatic function as defined by: - total bilirubin = 1.5 mg/dL (25.65 µmol/L) - aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) = 3.0 times the ULN - Women of childbearing potential (WOCP) have a confirmed negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to test dose of CLR 131. - Participants must use a medically acceptable method of birth control such as an oral, implantable, injectable, or transdermal hormonal contraceptive, an intrauterine device (IUD), a double barrier method (condoms, sponge, diaphragm, or vaginal ring with spermicidal jellies or cream), or total abstinence during the study participation and for 6 months after last dose of study drug.
